The Peak District National Park is home to some of the UK’s most distinctive limestone landscapes, with caves and rocky valleys shaped over thousands of years by water moving through the region’s underground geology.

From well-known dramatic natural entrances to quieter limestone formations, these landscapes offer a very different experience to the open moorland and gritstone edges more commonly associated with rest of the national park.

Many of the region’s caves sit within wider walking routes and dales landscapes, where steep valley sides, exposed limestone, and changing conditions create some of the most atmospheric scenery in the Peak District.
